We0tlse7. III d5cntjO71s.

Since August 18. New Ulm is includ-
ed in the State weather service. Indi-
cations for tWenty-four hours are wired
here daily. Mr.. ]. b. Weddendorf has
been appointed observer and will see
that the flags are displayed from the
REVIEW building every morning. There
are four different flags to denote the in
dications. No. /, white square, indi-
Gates fair weather. No. 2, blue square
indicates rain or snow. No. 8, black,
triangular, always refers to tempera-
ture. When placed above numbers one
or two it indicates warmer weather;
when placed below numbers one or two
it indicates colder weather; when not
displayed, the indications are that the
temperature will remain stationery, or
that the change in temperature will not
vary five degrees from the temperature
of the same hour of the proceeding day.
No. 4, a white flag with black square
in center indicates the approach Of a
sudden and decided fall in temperature.
This signal is usually ordered at least
twenty-four hours in advance of the
cold wave. It is not displayed unless a
temperature of forty-fVe degrees, or
lower is expected. Sec'y Heideman
has ordered 5000 cards, explaining the
meaning Of the flags, and will distrib-
ute them as soon as printed.

A new COURT HOUSE
And one that will be Credit to the
County, is to be built as soon
as possible.

At their meeting, held Friday, the
county commissioners condemned the
building now used for Office purposes
by county officers and voted to build a
new and substantial building with fire.
proof vaults, to be used for Office pur-
poses and place in which to keep the
records Of this county safe from fire and
other dangers. The resolution of the
commissioners was wise and will meet
with the approval Of all who have ever
had occasion to transact business at the
county building. The old building has
been inadequate, it is unsafe aud ohici-
cials and visitors have lived in constant
dread Of having the old building tumble
down on them. The vaults are too
small. -Four Of the county officers are
compelled to occupy the sameyault and
if by any chance, any record should dis
appear from the vault, neither of them
could be held responsible for same
When it is remembered that the records
of the Register, Clerk, Judge of Probate
and Surveyor have to be kept in such a
way, it is time to order new vaults for
this purpose alone if for no other.
Should a fire occur in the building at
any time, the records would be in great
danger of being destroyed as the vault
is not absolutely fire proof and it would
take thousands of dollars to replace those
which could be, while the majority
could never be replaced. The commits
sioners who voted for new building
will certainly be upheld by their consti-
tuents, while the one who opposed it,
although ne well knew that a new build
ing was an absolute necessity, will re-
ceive but cold comfort in his district.

The Citizens meet and request the
Council to build u b7'idge,

The Citizens Mass Meeting called
Friday evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the advisability of building an
iron bridge across the Minnesota river
was well attended. Mr.. P. Scherer
called the meeting to order and stated
the object of the meeting. Upon motion
Mr.. Scherer was elected president and
Mr.. Chas. Silverson secretary Of the
meeting. Mr.. Scherer then stated that
estimates made by a competent engi-
neer show that a good substantial iron
bridge can be built for $1,000. He called
upon those present to express their
opinions on the bridge matter. Mr..
Westpha:. took the floor and opposed
the whole scheme on the ground that
we might ..some day have high water
and would be obliged to build trestle
several thousand feet in length to guard
against this contingency. The expense
Of this trestle would of course be great
and he could not see whysthe present
pontoon bridge was not good enough to
accommodate all traffic. He therefore
moved to drop the bridge matter. Mr..
Lind then took the floor and in a telling
speech called the attention of those
present to the necessity of building an
iron bridge. He reviewed the trade Of
the town as it was in former years and
as it is now, called their attention to
the fact that trade was diverted from
this town on account Of the poor facili-
ties we have for transportation Of farm
pr0ducte across the river and asked all
good citizens to vote for a bridge. He
offered the following amendment to
Mr.. Westphals motion !: Resolved by
the citizens Of New Ulm, in meeting as
sembled at Turner Hall August 18th
1887, that we requegt the honorable
council of the city of New Ulm to cause
q good, substantial iron bridge to be
built across the Minnesota river at q
cost not to exceed $4,000. After a
few remarks made by Mr.. Westphal il
opposition to the resolution and by
Messrs. Wagner, Stuebe and others il
favor of it, the amendment was put and
carried by vote Of az to II. A large
number present abstained from voting
else the vote would have been still
larger in favor Of the project.

The streets illumination in Mime
apolis during the progress of the Ex-
position will be far more beautiful than
that of last year, and is intended to
surpass that of any city in America on
similar occasions. Nicollet Avenue
from the City Hall to Seventh St. will
be one blaze of light, more than 10,
900 burners BEND used.
One very attractive feature of the
Exposition this year will be the unique
and pleasing manner in which the large
basin in the center of the ground floor
will be decorated. Mr.. E. L. Traverse
has been given carte blanche in the
matter, and after q series of expert
ments has hit upon something which
promises to eclipse last years ,rockery
by a large majority. In the center
there will be large fountain provided
with forty-nine atomizers. A portion
Of the basin will be foWered over and
covered with moss, ferns, boulders and
the like. At the bottom of the water
and in various places under the fount-
ain, ffty-seven variously colored incan-
descent lights WILDE placed, SO adjust
ed as to permit of all sorts of changes
in color. 1t is evident that the effect
will be decidedly brilliant, as the re-
Election and refraction Of the divers
colored lights upon the atomized water
coming up from the fountain will make
a perpetual rainbow of the most beau
tiful description. The effect will be
much finer than that of last year, and
the cost much less. PIONEER PRESS.

A Famous Detsctiver

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State de-
tective, resided In Sing Sing, and ID
generally In attendance at the prison.
His duties are to examine carefully the
face Of the every convict as he enters,
and to scrutinize every visitor In order
to prevent any discharged convict SEE
ing his pals. Occasionally he has to
make long journeys in pursuit Of runa-
way prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted In other States. He never
makes q mistake II once he looks a
man in the eye he will know him under
any disguise, as he tells his man by the
look Of his eyes. Onc9 an escaped con-
Wet had his nose pared down one third,
but Jackson detected him at once, not
withdrawing this remarkable change
Of feature. Mr.. Jackson Is about 8 feet
inches In height, about 35 years old,
Of a light and sinewy build, with black
hair and piercing black eyes, and 10 al
together remarkably handsome. He
knows about 10000 criminals, and 1t 10
simply wonderful that he can distin-
guIsh the features Of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the
iolting of the cars on his tiresome trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Piasters
on the small of the back, which give
him renewed vigor and quickly relieve
him Of all WEAKNESS. These are the
only two remedies he uses, and he at
tributes his vigor and remarkable health
TO Allcock's Porous Plasters and Brand

an hour.

preparing the feast" which is of the
nature Of communion service. A
bowl Of rich broth, made from the
choicest mountain mutton, was place.
on long, plain, pine table. and beside
